Sandip Kumar Ray, Tamzidul Hoque, Abhishek Basak, Swarup Bhunia · 2016
We are in the regime of Internet-of-Things (IoT), - a regime characterized by billions of smart, connected computing devices coordinating to provide large-scale, highly personalized applications. Two overriding themes in this regime are energy consumption and security enforcement, which are both critical to the sustainability and proliferation of the IoT ecosystem. However, energy and security requirements are often at odds. This paper discusses several challenges in developing trustworthy IoT devices that comprehend the energy-security trade-offs. We also outline some emergent approaches to address this conflict.
